The festival will still take place at its regular location in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, in August, but Rewind Scotland and Rewind North, hosted in Cheshire, will not return in 2025.

Two new dates in Dublin and Cork have also been confirmed for next year.

Tickets are not on sale yet but will be available here. The line-up has also not been announced at this stage.

The Kent date will be a one-day festival with musicians expected to perform on the venue’s outdoor Scenic Stage.

Rewind has been running since 2009, when it was named 80s Rewind Festival, and is one of the country’s biggest festivals celebrating the decade.

Artists including Kim Wilde, Boy George, Billy Ocean, Aswad, Rick Astley, Jason Donovan, Bonnie Tyler, Lulu, Bananarama and Tony Hadley have all performed at the festival in the past.
